Be it known that I, JosUA SALZBERGER, a

New York city, borough of Bronx, in the county of New York and State ofNew, York, have invented certain new and useful 1 Improvements in Fur-Chenilles, of which the following is a specification;

My invention relates to improvements in chenilles, and more especiallyto that of fur ohenilles.

The object of my invention is to produce a fur chenille cheaply by usingthe discarded scraps of fur garment manufacturers. A further object isto be enabled to use said scraps no matter in what condition I they havebeen out, and adapt the same to be quickly made into fur chenilles at 'aminimum cost. w The invention consists in structural fea tures andarrangement of parts which will hereinafter be more fully described andpar- .ticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings where similar reference characters correspond to thesame parts in the different figures; Figure 1 represents a series ofdisconnected sections of fur of uniform width; Fig. 2 represents theunder side of the scraps shown in Fig. 1, fastened together; Fig. 3shows, the fur side of the scraps secured together as shown in Fig. 2;Fig. 4 1s a View of the flex ble core used in making the chenille; andFig. 5 is an elevation of a section of the finished chenille.

Referring to the drawings 1, 1 1 and 1 represent sections offur scrapswhich have been so trimmed as to be of uniform width, as shown in Fig.I. sewed together as shown at 2 or they may be attached in any suitablemanner as by glue or paste, as shown at 3, or by small staples as at 4:.I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not limit myself to the,

particular fastening means herein shown, but any other suitableexpedients may be employed to secure the ends. It will be seen from Fig.2 that I first form a tapev or strip offur of uniform width composed ofaseries of connected sections of fur. After a tape 6 of proper lengthhas been made, see Fig. 3, one end of this strip is fastened Thesesections are 7 by any suitable means one end of a flexible core 5 of anydiameter, (see Fig.6), with the fur side outward. The end of the core 5having the fur strip attached thereto is then so secured that itmay turnwhen the core is rotated. The fur strip is then.

spirally wound around thecore 5 by twistmg or turning the core, when thefur strip will become tightly and uniformly wrapped around said core,(see Fig. 5), with they backing of the fur adjacent to the core and theedges of said backing being contiguous and arranged spirally around thecore, and when the proper length of tapehas been formed, its end maybesecured to the core by any suitable means. The. contiguous edges of thebacking arranged spirally around the core are hidden from View by thefuroverlappingthe edges, making the chenille appear as a continuouscylinder" of fur. These lengths, as will be readilyseen,

.can be made of anynumber of yards, and

by simply sewing together small pieces or sections of fur which havebeen discarded, by the furriers or garment manufacturers. If so desiredthe tape of fur may be secured to the'core by means of paste orother-ad'-' hesive material placed on the core, as shown for example at7 in Fig. 5, before the tape is wound upon the same.

From the foregoing description will be I 1 seen that a, fur chenille canbe quickly and cheaply manufactured by the utilization of 1;

scraps of fur which have heretofore been i wasted or discarded. It willalso be understood that the chenille herein shown and described can bereadily used in making fur garments, as for example, muffs, coats,stoles, and other similar articles, by sewing or weaving together thechenille herein shown and described. a

What 'I claim is 1- a v As a new article of manufacture a fur chenilleconsisting of a flexible core havlng a strip of fur withits backing ofuniform backing spirally Wound adjacent upon said in presence of twoWitnesses;

a strip of fur of uniform Width with its In testimony whereof Iaffix'my'signature core and the fur surface on the outside, the I JOSUASALZBERGER. edges of the backing arranged contiguously Witnesses: 5 andspirally around the core, and the fur v W.
